They mention that pnc is still on, but what about borgata...

it's good that they are working on rescheduling so fast. get well soon.

Wow, he must really be sick. Damn that David Letterman!

Hang in there champ. We appreciate the way you put the east coast in check as they think so highly of themselves

Hope he recovers soon. Heartfelt condolences to those awaiting concerts so-far postponed. Has to be a good reason. I was thinking he was holding out for MSG but that seems too much for him right now. Get well soon!

When I was in Polluted Paris, as a student, I got one of those respiratory infections that makes you feel like your blood has been sucked. Then came a fever. I had to take an anti-biotic, an expectorant, pain medication, fever medication, and another one I can't remember. So I empathize completely, and feel even more sad about him than I felt about myself back then, because he has all those shows and those fans eagerly waiting to see him and nearly sitting on top of his head for him to recover ASAP (what can we do? we are mad about him). I feel he pushed as far as he could to do the Boston show, and I wish I could tell him that despite the brusque interruption, he gave me one of the best 20 minutes of my life. What amazed me was that despite feeling ill, the energy he transmitted was incredible, and unforgivable. If he or his tour managers decide to reschedule the show, I'll be very happy, much happier with that than with a refund. If rescheduling isn't possible, I'll feel sad, but I'll understand. We shouldn't just go for instant gratification all the time just because in adoring him we feel he owes us the world in return.

Drink plenty of tea with honey and lemon Morrissey!

Boston had better be among the rescheduled dates.

My sympathies to NYC, Philadelphia, and Northampton as well.

The artist's representatives are currently in the process of working on securing rescheduled dates and hope to make an announcement on Monday, July 2nd. In the meantime it is anticipated that the tour will continue as scheduled on July 2nd at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va., and for New York area fans Morrissey's performance July 6th at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J. is to proceed as planned.

he's obviously sick if he's canceling shows days after the fact.

Morrissey last played the hallowed halls of Madison Sq Garden this month 16 years ago, Us New Yorkers can survive a few more weeks...As long as he remembers us and reschedules, all will be right with the world.(well not quite but...)
GET BACK AND GET BETTER MOZZER!!! We're pullin for ya!

and Atlantic City? It says the tour resumes on July 2nd at Wolf Trap, and then on the 6th in Holmdel.

It seems like a strange omission. There is no mention of any postponements on those websites.

Even though I drove all the way from Montreal to NYC just to see him, I hope he gets better soon. Maybe he'll be more amenable to coming to Canada on the next go 'round. We love Moz up there, too, eh?

Awww...so sorry to hear about this : (

Hope Morrissey feels better very soon!

Remember to finish the full course of antiinfectives.

It's not evidence-based AFAIK, but it doesn't hurt, and I think it's very comforting and tasty: squeeze the juice of one lemon into a teapot of scalded water, add grated fresh ginger to taste, and sweetener of your choice to taste (I like to add enough to lapse into diabetic ketoacidosis).

Firstly, I am now sick too. The DNA that I had tightly wrapped as it was dark as I drove the point home appears to have given it to me too. Was at the doctors, and got antibiotics and a strong cough syrup. I just knew you were sick and now we both are. I hate to tell you people that I told you so -- but I told you so.
Actually you did me a REALLY big favor by canceling MSG, literally.

I love you. The person that I physically despise got me unacceptable seating arrangements and I hate him but I love you.

You were one -- I knew you were one. I am home ill as well and psychologically the thought of going to the garden was giving me really bad panic attacks to top it all off.
So once again you gave me a miracle.

I don’t mind being on these antibiotics and this cough syrup because the DNA seeped in.
I am now probably going to get hate mail as well but I am used to it but I don’t care what other people think of me. People are self serving, two faced, back stabbing evil humans and I have no use for 95% of the population.

Thank you again Morrissey -- lets both get well fast. I look forward to seeing you tonight on Letterman and in the future ---- when all is well. Thank you again.

The 2 bombs that could very well have been permeated weren't. Leave America to make their own sense of the Middle East. You were once a member of the Communist Party, lets hope for Britains sake, you are maybe still half principled.

Leave Iraq immediately and tell israel to get home before 9 o clock

Just as a good Daddy does

this is now on the MSG site:

Please be advised that due to illness, the Morrissey concert performance originally scheduled for Saturday, June 30, 2007 at Madison Square Garden has been RESCHEDULED.

A new date will be announced soon. Please retain your tickets. All tickets marked Saturday, June 30, 2007 will be honored at the new performance.

For more information regarding the new date of this show, please continue to monitor www.thegarden.com.

It's nice to see an entire thread so far being respectful of the fact that Morrissey is a human being and can suffer from illness like the rest of us. I was shocked and ashamed to read some of the previous posts over the past few days regarding the cancellation of shows. I've been to a dozen concerts during the first leg of this tour, and thankfully (minus the early departure in Stockton, which wasn't a big deal to me) I haven't had a show canceled yet. That said, I flew around the country, including St. Louis and the Southwest which is quite far from my home in Northern California knowing that I was taking a chance of being seriously disappointed by the possibility of a show cancellation, etc. The bottom line is that it's always a possibility and it's the chance you take when you a do crazy thing like fly 2000 miles to see a show. He's human. Most of us, myself included, are incredibly fond of him and love him dearly. I'm just happy as hell that he's still performing and putting out incredible music . I'll be sending positive thoughts out to him hoping for a quick recovery. For those of you who have experienced it (as I have from being in the music business in the past), the road is brutal, no matter how much money you have. It takes a toll on you. It was a pleasant surprise this evening to login to this forum and see such a positive outpour of support and comments for the situation at hand. I say thank you to those who are on the same page as me, and for those who have such a negative approach to life, please reconsider.
Thanks for keeping the faith!
Best,
ElMozVis

You did me the biggest favor by canceling MSG; a lot of the people that work there are evil, disgusting, master manipulators that work behind the scenes in malicious scheming ways. I used to want you to play there but that was a long long time ago. But things change. I believe things happen for a reason and you canceling there was meant to happen for the better. The garden is not for people like you.; they are beneath you. Well done. BTW - I hope you have a speedy recovery and are feeling better.

Sure he needs the rest - be patient everyone. This is the second flight I will now have to cancel. His own history will work against him but I feel confident he will reschedule. Makes sense to do it the Fri./Sat. after Myrtle and finish the the tour rockin' out the Garden!

AwWWWW...i was supposed to see him on the 30th at madison square garden. i hope he gets better. but now i have to wait tell july 2nd to find out a date?..oh well. hope you feel better morrissey!

I like to think of you as indestructable but, alas, you are only human. And I hate to think of you suffering, so I hope the illness is as minor as can be.

With all our goodwill, I'm sure you will recover in no time and be back saving other people's health on that stage. All my love. x

 

mozzer just wrote in his question and answers that he doesnt do much to take care of his voice. he sounded like he was sick on david letterman. possibly kristeen young screeched so loud that it just cracked his voice. not permanently i hope

Hope Morrissey recovers from his throat infection and is feeling loads better soon! Take care of that voice we all love so much!

Please look after yourself and get well soon Sweetie Pie. We are all thinking of you.
Love you dearly.

I have an eye infection myself. Good timing, looking forward to the reschedule.

Having travelled all the way from Edinburgh, Scotland,for this show, it's an understatement to say I'm feeling quite sick myself. Get well soon Morrissey. Xxx

Well, I'm kind of upset because I was really excited for this show and I only found out at 1:30 AM because I'm never on the internet. There's nothing anyone can do about it though. I look foward to a reschedule at MSG and I hope to see a healthier Moz.

Get well soon, Moz. 33 Much love from NYC

Hi from New York! I've never been in America before. Thanks to Morrissey for spurring me to finally make the trip, this is a culturally rich and chique city. It's also lovely and warm, far away from the storms and sea-gull cafuffle back home! However I can't believe how nearly impossible it is in this hub of Western civilisation to locate internet facilities and then how expensive it is, so I've found myself a superb solution and am posting free from the historic and ornate magnificance of New York public library around the corner from me!

I was in situ last night to watch CBS Dave Letterman show in my hotel and my impression was that they deliberately intimidated Morrissey with banging on about the spare ribs, rather than accepting the 'mistake' cue. Even if that could be forgiven in the interest of perverse entertainment, the freezer element affects people. I sat on the plane next to a man who said he'd been in the audience at the Ed Sullivan theatre for that show and had distinctly remembered how arctic-like it was. To top it off, Letterman runs a lazy, dumb self-indulgent show; his saving grace is boyish charm and there's little point in trying to explain to him how people grow up. The song's a bit like 'Shyness is Nice', there's a vulnerability about it. Moz' performance was fantastic, but after that whole experience, it's no wonder he got sick in more ways than one. We live and learn.

I'll attempt to seek refunds for shows missed but I take responsibility for booking at my own risk. It'd be insane to blame a singer for falling ill and besides I'm having a lot of fun in this melting pot of cultural diversity, sight-seeing with a m-solo pal at the Frick Museum soon, dancing later etc. I do hope Morrissey rallies for an appearance before I go back, but if not, very soon, and anyway that's life, we'll pick ourselves up and get back in the race!

Then we'll take Tehran!!

I know if your are ill you are ill, cant help feeling fed up though and let down. So ive paid out £1000 to see a cover band! better be good, reschedule is no good for someone who lives in Europe.

I have just been on ticket master for a look at dates and this was on there. Morrissey in MSG 5/29/09??? Sorry Moz but i cant afford a hotel till then.Suppose it will give me time to save up to come back.

Why is the Atlantic City date never mentioned? It is still happening correct?

Feel better Morrissey! Now to figure out what to do with a birhgty sunny Saturday that I planned to spend waiting in line...

love, math+

MORRISSEY this is a huge dissapointment. Moz has no respect for the fact that the show was in NYC where people come form all over to see him. He is a queen who only cares for his own feelings. No offense, but that is probably why he has always been alone. Really bad to cancel shows like this because your "sick", code for I don't feel like showing up. Unacceptable. Especially when people like me made sure to be in NYC for this. What kind of ilness isn't cured in a few days other then a very serious illness, which it is pretty clear he dosn't have or a release would have been put out by now. Now a bunch of PR and ticket reps have to apologize for his selfish behavior. BTW: Show on Letterman was terrible. Kristeen Young why don't you go model lightbulbs if that is your calling. SMITHS=100, MORRISSEY=0 MORRISSEY=CAREER DISSAPOINTMENT

I was just listening to Richard Blade on Sirius and someone called to request a Moz song. The caller had said that he went to the concert last night at MSG. Is this some sort of sick joke? When I heard that it was cancelled, I didn't go to the city. Why would I? Please tell me that this is a joke. I called MSG and the recording still says that the concert was indeed postponed but WILL be rescheduled.

Yeah I was way too harsh I am sorry. I am having fun in NYC despite the canceled show. Not that MOZ gives a fuck what I care, and he shouldn't if he did he wouldn't be Moz.

I may have to check the numbers but memory seems to recall that only Axl Rose cancels more shows than Morrissey. It seems that since I have

show was actually really good, much better than expected. Seems a lot of would-be MSG goers made they way to BB Kings to see the tribute band - the place was packed. Everyone appeared to luv it. Ronnissey's got his shit down!

He must be better!! Just checked Wolf Trap's website and it has a note saying it's on:

Note: Tonight's performance will take place as scheduled.
Morrissey
Kristeen Young
Monday, July 2
Filene Center

Should we all start selling these tickets to pay off the debts from the cancellations of Northampton, Philly & NYC? No word at all yet? Lame....

It's pretty lame they don't even have any type of news/announcement regarding rescheduling, refunding or refurbishing....

This isn't Viva Morrissey this Viva SUX.

I came all the way from Canada and poor Moz has a "sore throat"! Boo hoo. And it's not likely he'll be coming to Canada anytime soon since he hates us here. How pathetic of him.

For all of those who traveled from Canada, Europe or anywhere else, you're taking a risk when you do something like that. Nobody at MSG is really going to care how far you traveled in order to see the show. I'm sure when you got the tickets you acknowledged something that said they are not responsible blah blah blah. I don't blame you for not reading it, but it doesn't change the fact that it was there.

From True To You:
2 July 2007

Following the postponement due to illness of several shows last week, we are delighted to announce that Morrissey's U.S. tour will recommence tonight at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Va. Morrissey was suffering with a viral infection that brought his show in Boston at the Bank Of America Pavilion to a halt after seven songs last Tuesday the 26th of June. Following doctor's orders not to sing for five days, it also forced the postponement of shows in Northampton, Mass., Philadelphia, and New York's Madison Square Garden. The Boston show has been successfully rescheduled for this Saturday the 7th of July, and all tickets from the original date will be honored. It is hoped that rescheduled dates for New York, Philadelphia, and Northampton will be secured and announced in the next 24 hours.
